MAKE IT POSSIBLE
I have been reading with concern of the
proposals and letters to the editor concerning
the future of Kesey Square. I have been
living in a senior apartment community,
Olive Plaza, in downtown Eugene. Many
of us walk for our exercise and refreshment.
There are no places where we can go and
sit. There is no green, no small park near the
area where we live. A new City Hall park is
much too far away. Kesey Square remains
the one place where we could go, but the
benches have been removed.
I personally like the diversity of our
downtown neighborhood, and I envision
Kesey Square as an attractive public park.
There we would find young people finding
their way in the world, other apartment
dwellers, parents with their babies, some
homeless older adults, all passing through.
To make this happen as a city park, there
could be regulations. For example, no smoking
allowed, and the park could be closed to the
public from 11 pm to 7 am, as others are.
Please, city leaders, let’s make this
possible!

KESEY’S WISDOM
Ken Kesey died in 2002. As a tribute,
photographer Brian Banker led a visionary
— and successful — effort to fund and
create a memorial: the bronze sculpture
“The Storyteller” by Pete Helzer placed in
2003 in Kesey Square.
The fundraising poster and pro-bono ads in
national publications appeared with a portrait
of Kesey by Banker. They featured this now-
famous quote from an interview with Ken:
"The answer is never the answer.
What’s really interesting is the mystery.
If you seek the mystery instead of the
answer, you’ll always be seeking.
I’ve never seen anybody really find
the answer, but they think they have.
So they stop thinking. But the job is
to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant
a garden in which strange plants grow and
mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is
greater than the need for an answer. ”
May we heed this shape-shifting
wisdom whatever we — locals, travelers,
councilors, developers and editors! — do
or don’t do in Kesey Square.

WHAT EUGENE LACKS
I’m just trying to understand Joshua
Purvis’ actual viewpoint on Kesey Square
Dec. 10. First he states his credentials as a
film buff — OK, whatever. Then he opens
with a thesis statement with a double
negative in favor of development — I
guess that’s his view.
He praises the would-be developers
of a publicly owned and used space for
actually getting some public input — that’s
good, but hopefully it’s legally required at
some point an5rway.
He praises/encourages EW editors
for devoting column space to the issue
(borderline brown-nosing). He sums
up with a snarky comment about those
who actually had a vision for downtown
decades ago — a boorish comment.
What is lacking is a vision for Eugene’s
heart — right now the heart of Eugene is a
four- way stop at Broadway and Willamette
with a manhole cover where a fountain
once stood, traffic-centric not people¬
centric. Eugene has finally integrated
housing, restaurants, retail, art, etc., into
downtown in the European model of
community, but Eugene lacks the one
thing that brings the community together:
a public space (not parking space).
The public square is a solution that
has worked for centuries in Europe and
has been successfully imported to places
like Portland’s Pearl District (but with
too much car traffic). The vision of an
open pedestrian square is a long-proven
economic and societal solution for a city’s
heart. The solution is not to cover Kesey
Square with a high-rise but to expand it
by creating a car-free pedestrian circle at
Broadway and Willamette.
The argument against this seems
founded on fear of homeless and transient
“others” who might show up. Purvis
points out that “natural surveillance” can
be developed to counter this problem,
and I would also encourage Eugene’s
police to get out of their cars and walk
around downtown and actually smile and
converse, not just enforce.
Finally, I would like to thank Purvis for
his snide summary comment that annoyed
me enough to write.

HOT AIR SOCIETY
BY TONY CORCORAN
Republicans Trumped
SUPER-PAC BUCKS CREATE CHAOS IN GOP PRIMARY
We all know that any political act can spawn unintended consequences.
In 2010, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the ban
on corporate expenditures for political candidates in the Citizens
United case. I would argue that the Citizens United ruling is the most
consequential American political act of this young century. Who
would have predicted that, in unleashing Citizens United, the Supreme Court would launch
the crowded clown college known in 2015 as the Republican Presidential Debate Club?
Clearly Justice Roberts and his conservative Republican colleagues on the Supreme
Court knew that Citizens United would enhance the power of corporations and their
own party while weakening the Democrats. Sure, Obama won by outworking and out
strategizing the Romney/Ryan ticket in 2012, but that was an exception that proves a larger
rule. Currently, Republicans control 70 percent of our state legislative chambers, and in
half of our states Republicans control both legislative chambers. More than 60 percent of
our states’ governors are Republicans. That’s the largest Republican control in American
politics since before the Great Depression of the 1930s. It’s no small irony that the U.S.
economy currently displays the greatest income disparity between rich and poor since that
same Great Depression.
So you’d think Democrats would be quaking in their boots at this scenario and
Republicans would be laughing all the way to the bank. But instead. Republicans are
panicking. The circular firing squad has not diminished in size. Normally, losing primary
candidates, unable to get their numbers up in anticipation of the primaries next January
and February, would be dropping like flies. Instead, super-PAC money is keeping several
of the clowns on life support, and it’s showing. The leading candidate, Donald Trump, can
self-finance because he’s a billionaire. But the Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Carly
Fiorina corporate campaign support is alive and well — and Ben Carson still gets to hang
out on his book tour. As former national Democratic chair Howard Dean recently pointed
out: Florida has a winner-take-all primary on March 15 that could wrap up the Republican
presidential primary race!
Believe me, as a longtime Democrat, I take little pleasure in hearing South Carolina
Sen. Bindsey Graham call his party’s frontrunner, Donald Trump, a “xenophobic, race¬
baiting, religious bigot.” You know those rich Republicans: Boys will be boys. Betcha
they’ll kiss and make up sooner than Bernie gets a State Department email from Hillary.
“Trump” might become a verb. Trump you, too!
Oregon Republicans will be awash in corporate money this campaign cycle, whether in
our state legislative races, statewide races or the ballot measure campaigns, with an anti¬
union “right-to-work” measure and progressive attempts to increase the minimum wage
and increase taxes on corporations and Oregon’s wealthiest on the table.
Our gubernatorial primaries have been quiet so far, with incumbent Kate Brown the
presumed Democratic candidate and Bud Pierce the Republican. The secretary of state
primaries are intriguing. I’m glad to see that two of my least favorite Republicans, Sid
Beiken and Dennis Richardson, are running against each other: That means the loser
should be pretty much washed up in Oregon politics.
The Democratic primary is intriguing: two men and one woman. These
are three good candidates, all progressives in their own way. Sen.
Richard Devlin is the current co-chair of Oregon’s Ways and
Means Committee. Brad Avakian is the current Oregon labor
commissioner. Both are midterm in their current elected
offices. The third candidate is State Representative and former
Democratic House Majority header Val Hoyle. In the interest
of full disclosure. I’m supporting Val because I’ve worked closely
with her for over 20 years on Bane County Democrat issues. No
doubt turnout will determine this race.
The Wayne Morse Center for Baw and Politics held a
reception a few weeks ago to honor Margaret Hallock
as she retired as its executive director. It was such
a treat to see old friends from the UO’s Babor
Education and Research Center (BERC) and so
many progressive community educators and
leaders. State Rep. Paul Holvey best summed
it up for all of us in a note to Margaret after
the event: “Congrats on your great career
and retiring with the admiration of a broad
community of people dedicated to social
and economic justice that includes me.
Enjoy life!"

and a recently retired state employee.

A SHARED VISION
The Register-Guard on Dec. 4 printed a
Don Kahle column — “Let Kesey Square
walls come tumbling down.” Yes, let
the metaphorical walls of our closed-in
imaginations come tumbling down, but
don’t privatize the only public space in the
heart of downtown Eugene, including the
walls themselves.
Why is it that some people feel this
urgent need to empower someone else,
such as the private interest group who
wants to construct another apartment
complex, or business owner Ali Emami,
who wants to build business access fronts
on the two existing walls and presumably
utilize the square for his own customer
seating, to envision the future of Kesey
Square?
This is not so much a bad idea but
certainly premature in the absence of
any comprehensive study of the multiple
programmatic uses of the square as public
space.
We do not want private development
to foreclose the use of Kesey Square
for many different kinds of programs,
such as the successful movie-on-the-
square showing of King Kong and the
mob dance performance of Michael
Jackson’s “Thriller.” Just imagine all the
possibilities: performance artists; poetry
slams; installation artworks; music on the
square; dancing; political rallies; civic
ceremonies.
What we need are two or three small
creative groups, one of which could
explore the successful development of
other comparable small urban spaces. For
example, Paley Park in New York City,
which is a space of similar size with three
closed walls, two of which are covered
with lush green ivy and the other a wall
of falling water, beautifully lighted for
nighttime and gloomy cloudy days. It is
an oasis where people love to sit and talk
and eat, named one of the best parks in the
world by the Project for Public Spaces.
Another group could explore all the
possible program possibilities and how
to form a volunteer committee to do year-
round programming. Another group could
explore how other cities successfully
manage the challenges of addressing
“travelers” while also attracting families.
Yes, the weather does conspire against
us. Inclemency is both an obstacle and
hopefully an inspiration to study simple
structures, such as those found in Portland
and Seattle, which would solve our
problem and allow for the space to be used
year round.
Let’s take the city to heart and restore
the cultural heart of Eugene in a way that
inspires and empowers the people. Let’s
create a space for all of our shared visions.

OUR CHAMBER IS SILENT
COP 21 in Paris focused on what is
most certain about climate change, such
as the amount of sea-level rise. I am most
concerned about uncertain disasters, such
as positive runaway feedback loops, like
methane release. We might hit a tipping
point that could result in a chaotic Russian
roulette with our planet. With such a
worst-case scenario a possibility, our local
response is far too silent.
For several years I have helped a
campaign by the well-respected national
group, 350.org. They ask local businesses
to say that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
does not speak for them! Our local Eugene
Area Chamber is actually independent
from the U.S. Chamber, but unfortunately,
after years of emails, visits and publicity,
their leadership has stayed silent about
global warming and refuses to put out a
simple statement that the U.S. Chamber
does not speak for them! Only about 56
local chambers, out of thousands, have
spoken up.
Approaching friendly local businesses
to talk about this issue is a good test of our

LEAVE TREES STANDING
As the climate conference winds down
in Paris and the “Leave 80 Percent of the
Fossil Fuels in the Ground” campaign
continues, there is something we in
Oregon should be working on to help stave
off the effects of global warming. We need
to work on leaving our trees in the ground.
The forests in western Oregon are
some of the best forests in the world for
carbon sequestration, among many other
ecosystem services they provide for
humans and wildlife. We need to demand
legislation to keep the trees in the ground
rather than the current rush to clearcut
private forests and the ongoing effort
to clearcut our last, best public forests.
Unfortunately, many of our “public
servants” are bought by the logging
industry via large campaign donations,
and they must be voted out. Time is of the
essence.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

BIRD CRASH SDLUTIDNS
I appreciate EW querying King Estate
about birds slamming into the glass pavilion
(“Is King Estate a Haven or Hazard for
Birds, Dec. 3). There are two types of birds
on the estate: high-class predators like
hawks and owls who are invited guests;
and lower-class ones like robins, finches,
scrub jays, cedar waxwings and grackles
who dine without making reservations.
I can see management’s ambivalence
to bird-proofing the pavilion, but bird
stickers just window-dress the issue.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology says
that “window decals rarely prevent bird
strikes.” Covering the glass when it’s not
in use would help. Sound devices that
mimic predators or a bird’s distress call
could work when it’s occupied, according
to research.
The University of California’s Integrated
Pest Management program says, “Bird
damage is usually most severe at sites that
are adjacent to wild or brushy areas where
birds find refuge ... orchards surrounded by
other orchards often have fewer problems
with birds.” The sprawling vineyards
of the King Estate may help, but they’re
an ecological problem of viticulture.
Californiacating the upper Willamette
Valley will drive some of us away along
with the birds. Flocks of migrants from
the Sunshine State are helping push up
the price of land and houses as their taste
and status is reproduced. Limos and
RVs that drive to the estate harm the
environment more than the party birds that
follow. So who are the real pests of the
valley?

VIEWPOINT
BY JEFFERSON GOOLSBY
Refugees On Their Way
THE IMPENDING MASS MIGRATION CRISIS
AS Oregonians, we should all be alarmed
at the numerous signs of a great
calamity to come: the mass migration
of Californians to our state. The
climate-change-induced drought in that
region has pushed California’s 38 million residents to
the brink of social collapse, with millions on the verge
of fleeing the devastation.
This year’s deus ex machina El Nino has temporarily
abated the Golden State’s dehydration, providing a
few more years of livability. But the overpopulated
and infrastructure-debilitated region will simply feign
the crisis has passed, when in fact the cataclysm has
only been postponed.
Visits to California only heighten concerns. If
you’ve ever witnessed the aggressive drivers of
California, you can easily imagine those same people,
hungry and unbathed, in the streets of our towns.
A terrifying group of California refugees to expect
from the impending migration are the techies. This is
a tribe that has been overindulged and overpaid for
performing the most simple of tasks, such as making
web pages. Accustomed to six-figure incomes for
doing very little, these over-compensated heathen will
make our own homes unaffordable to ourselves. They
will try to convert our character-filled downtowns into
chichi open-air malls of overpriced boutiques and
Americanized sushi.
Compared to the relatively small problem of the
handful of “travelers” currently found in downtown
Eugene, hordes of former upper-middle-class families
in grubby khakis camping out in Kesey Square will
present an entirely different scale of problem. We’ll
be wishing for the return of travelers to help teach
them how to avoid exclusion zones and find public
restrooms. These masses of displaced techies, sleeping
in their Audis and Acuras, will make the dust bowl
migration look like families on
holiday road trips.
A particularly serious risk
for Oregonians posed by the
mass migration can be seen in
the number of Christians living
in California. Profuse numbers
of Christian radio stations offer
evidence that a swath of the Bible
Belt runs through the Golden
State. And while the media may
try to portray Christianity as a
peaceful faith, the religion has
a long, documented history of
violence.
The majority of California
Christians may be nonviolent, but
it’s certain that many “sleeper cell” radical Christians
and KKK “Khristians” are hiding, even being
sheltered, within mainstream churches. These radical
fundamentalists will be crossing the border by mingling
in with the other Christians, only to turn against us
once they’ve established churches in Oregon. How will
Oregon residents feel to see Christian law imposed?
Are we ready for the public stoning of adulteresses?
As well, many Christian sects prohibit birth control
with the result of rapidly increasing populations that
will surpass native Oregonians.
Which brings up perhaps the bigger question
— are California refugees Oregon’s responsibility?
Why should Oregon have any obligation to take them
in? Shouldn’t other states that are fundamentalist
Christian — like Texas or Oklahoma — be the first to
accept them?
What should we Oregonians do to prepare for the
millions who will be fleeing across our border? When
swarms of thirsty Californians are sprawling their
way north in a desperate quest
for liquids, shall we just stand
idly by and watch our state be
overrun? When the coming El
Nino snowpack has vanished and
the lawns and golf courses have
died forever, forcing millions on
a northerly course, how should
we respond?
If you lean to the right you
might be inclined toward air
strikes right now, with the vague
notion that it will somehow make
them all do what we tell them. If
you lean to the left, you might
talk about providing housing but
end up offering a pup-tent ghetto
in an unused industrial area with Porta-Potties. If
you have libertarian sensibilities, you might support
installing exorbitant toll booths at the border and
building unregulated factories as fast as possible —
it’s amazing how productive thirsty people can be in
an overcrowded labor market!
But what about those of us looking for a reasonable
solution? It’s imperative that when someone from out-
of-state asks about Oregon, we stop answering with “It
rains a lot.” Such language is the ambrosia of hope for
Californians. We also need to act now to implement
rigorous border controls and extended background
screening for Californian refugees, with the building
of long-term refugee camps along the Ashland grade.
As for myself. I’m thinking of just loading up the
old fossil fuel burner and drifting north to someplace
rainier, like Washington.

POISONED AIR
The youngest members of any species
are always protected by the older, stronger
members. Humans protect our children as
well. We vaccinate our children against
possible diseases, we buy Velcro shoes
so there’s no worry of untied-shoelaces-
induced falling and we even wrap them up
in extra layers just to keep them warm. If
protecting our children is so important, why
do we ignore the health of the environment
they live in?
Beyond Toxics conducted a study in
2013 in West Eugene that showed that the
average percentage of high schoolers who
suffer from self-reported asthma was 19
percent, middle schoolers were 17 percent,
elementary schoolers were 10 percent, and
kindergarten through 8th grade schoolers
were 12 percent. Asthma is a side effect
of the toxic emissions from the nearby
factories. Other side effects include rashes
and an inability to play outside.
We try to protect our children from
diseases, but we ignore something they
might have caught from the air they
breathe. We need to not only protect them
from the cold, but from the polluted heavy
air they breathe every day. The very air
they breathe is poison to their lungs, poison
to their voices and poison to their lives.

INDUSTRY’S IMPACT
I am concerned about industrialization
polluting our homes and our city. More and
more respiratory, reproductive and overall
medical problems are affecting us and our
children, but it is “justified” with the flawed
idea that cities must always continue to
grow. Envision Eugene has produced a plan
of action that expands the urban growth
boundary closer to the Bethel homes so that
there are new jobs for the growing population.
What they didn’t tell us from the start is how
many negative effects this industrial growth
will have on us.
I don’t have a proposal regarding how to
better mn the city, but I know that we should
not place factories directly next to our homes,
and I know that we can’t risk increasing
medical issue rates. Most of aU I know that
there has got to be a better plan than the one
Eugene has proposed.

PEOPLE OVER PROFITS
To see the place that I grew up in being
polluted and ruined to an extent that it is
being right now is truly upsetting. I am a
freshman in high school right now, and
we’ve been learning about the industrial
plants in west Eugene. I can easily
remember all the fun I’ve had throughout
my years while playing outside with my
friends at recess or after school.
But hearing that schools in west Eugene
have to prevent children from playing at
recess breaks my heart and infuriates me
because these plants are juggernauts. Our
laws about pollution feel toothless, because
these industrial plants have exceeded their
pollution allowance multiple times with
the only punishment being small fines.
It’s time that we add harsher restrictions
and punishments for industries going over
their pollution limits. The asthma rates in
children in west Eugene are at 14 percent,
while other areas are at 8 percent. It’s time
that our government stops thinking about
profits and starts thinking about the people.

SUPPORT CLIMATE BILL
In 2007 the Oregon Legislature set goals
for reductions in Oregon’s greenhouse gas
emissions. It is essential that these goals be
met in order to do our part in helping to
avert changes in the climate that would not
be conducive to our economy and ways of
living, as we currently enjoy them. This is
the biggest threat our society faces.
The expert panel in our state, the Oregon
Global Warming Commission, reports that
we are not on track to meet those reduction
goals. The state Legislature could pass, in
the upcoming session, a bill that would
gradually reduce Oregon’s greenhouse gas
emissions through a system of allotments
for emissions that would be monitored.
Other states are already doing this and are
achieving necessary results.
Oregonians should contact their state
senators and representatives and ask for
support of the “Healthy Climate Bill,”
which is sponsored by Sen. Chris Edwards
of Eugene.

VIEWPOINT BY OTTO POTICHA
Kesey Square Cannot Be Replaced
BUILDING ON THE SQUARE IS NOT SMART URBAN PLANNING
A number of letters and comments
have appeared recently regarding
local developers’ proposal to solve
the traveler/transient problem in
downtown by filling Kesey Square
with a five-story apartment building. Downtown
Eugene Inc. and the Eugene Area Chamber of
Commerce have both come out in favor of this closing
of the commons and privatizing of our public land.
But, as it turned out at the Mayor’s Downtown
Solutions Forum on public space last week, the large
crowd that assembled did not want to lose Kesey
Square or the opportunity to improve it as vital urban
public space.
They spoke up for more public space development
in downtown, not less, and they called for not just
more spaces, but for the recognition of the need for a
variety of kinds of public spaces that enrich the urban
experience.
We were given a presentation that declared there
already are a lot of “open spaces” in downtown. Yes
there are — mostly in spaces without buildings such
as open parking lots, transit uses and engineered (not
designed) streets and walkways. Senior City Planner
Nan Laurence, who presented this overview, cited
examples such as the corner next to the new Lane
Community College campus downtown and the wide
sidewalk along the new library. These are simply
spaces without buildings, not active and participating
“active urban open spaces.”
Another noted the potential urban open space
of the proposed plaza at the “new” City Hall. The
proposed plaza there will not be an active open space.
It is an ornamental public space unto itself. Compare
it with other such ornamental plazas in front of city
halls in other cities. There is
usually no one there and no
reason to congregate there.
Replacing Kesey Square with
the proposed City Hall plaza
would just amount to trading
apples for oranges.
Active open spaces
require immediate contact
with buildings and they
form a partnership with the
adjacent uses so they can
stimulate and support each
other. Kesey Square, at the
main intersection of our
downtown, when renovated
and integrated with adjacent
uses, can be that active urban
open space that developers
would aspire to engage. It could or will stimulate
much more future development than filling it up with
a building that requires some subsidy (MUPTE) to be
successful. Development of Kesey Square as an active
urban open space would provide a subsidy in a much
more meaningful way. That’s what urban planning
and city development is about: providing stimulus
for development and not just reviewing and jurying
developers’ proposals.
Filling or eliminating Kesey Square is not good,
smart or acceptable urban planning; it is using
planning to alleviate a perceived problem. We have a
city manager, Jon Ruiz, and City Council who are not
trained nor versed in city planning. They are versed
in political planning, consensus seeking and vote¬
gathering.
The build-over and
eliminate-the-square
developers have been
discussing this possibility with
the city manager for the past
two years. And now to hurry
the process, the city has issued
an RFEI (request for alternate
expressions of interest) to
review and present to the
council that are due in five
short weeks, giving the distinct
impression that the train has
already left the station. Again,
this is not acceptable urban
planning; it is closing the
public realm and burying some
unresolved social problems
under a five -story building.
It appears by comments at the public workshop and
in the printed media that this community has a deep
interest in the matter. The Eugene City Council is the
final decision maker, and they will make it based on
the manager’s recommendation and pressure from
their constituents.
I urge those of you who care about your downtown
to contact your city council representative and share
your opinions. Council members can be and are
influenced by those they represent.
Send email comments to the following address:

STORMWATER FROM THE ROOSEVELT
MIDDLE SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
SITE LEAKS INTO THE ADJACENT
AMAZON WETLANDS DUE TO A
FAULTY SEDIMENT FENCE
i

MIDDLE SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
CONTAMINATING AMAZON CREEK?
The city of Eugene has cited the $42 million construction
project of the future Roosevelt Middle School on East 24th
Avenue for failing to prevent stormwater on the site from
flowing into the adjacent wetlands of Amazon Creek.
Recent heavy rains have caused rust and diesel-filled wa¬
ter to drain into a grove of trees growing in the wedands and
potentially Amazon Creek, 50 yards from where Hyland Con¬
struction is working on the 15-acre site.
A city inspector found that constmction crews failed to re¬
pair a water containment fence on the creek side of the site,
which led to copious amounts of stormwater draining off into
the wetlands.
“They should have repaired that fence. They were made
aware of it last month, that it needed to be maintained and
repaired. They didn’t do that,” says Dal Ollek, an erosion
prevention specialist with the city of Eugene, who gave the
superintendent at the 15-acre site a correction memo asking
them to fix the fence immediately to stop any more flooding.
An 80-foot-wide pond had formed in front of the half-
finished building by Dec. 13, and a diesel truck and construc¬
tion shed were partially situated in the pond. Ollek says the
pond has grown so large because the future school, in its half-
finished state, has multiple roof and concrete surfaces which
can’t absorb the heavy rains of the past weeks, leaving it to
collect in the pond below. The soil under the pond is imper¬
meable clay, trapping even more surface stormwater.
Ollek adds that construction sites have many potential
chemicals. He says sediments and fuels on these sites can kill
the plants and micro-invertebrates in Amazon Creek, which
collects much of the stormwater drainage for the city.
“There’s oil and grease and hydraulic fluid that gets into
the water also. Generally, it’s pretty nasty stuff, a lot of it.
From the rain, it’s a hodgepodge of runoff from those sites,”
Ollek says.
Hyland Constmction president Shaun Hyland denied any
wrongdoing in an interview with EW.
4J Spokesperson Kerry Delf said the constmction crews
repaired the leaking sediment fence by the morning of Dec.
15. Delf says that the overflowing stormwater does not con¬
tain any pollutants from the site.
“We’ll continue to work with our constmction crews to try
to work to prevent mnoff from the site in the future,” she says.
In 2013, the city of Eugene initially rejected the constmc¬
tion plans for the location of the Roosevelt Middle School
because the major rebuild was so close to Amazon Creek and
its wedands. The closest edge of the current constmction site
is about 10 feet from the city-listed wetlands. Several piles of
uncovered, msting rebar are piled against this back border.
Mayor Kitty Piercy says: “There was a lot of concern
during the time when they were making the decision about
where the new Roosevelt would be. The city expressed some
concerns. We didn’t win. My hope is we won’t see a nega¬
tive impact on the wetland or flooding mining what Roosevelt
Middle School is.”
Multiple diesel tmcks, piles of rebar forming msty red
puddles, a littering of cigarette butts, propane tanks, scattered
plastic wrapping and old paint buckets were all sitting at the
constmction site in the rain on Dec. 14.
“There’s a lot of diesel on the ground — mud mixed with
grease,” says Lisa Warnes, a volunteer water rights activist
with Be Noble, a nonprofit that manages and maintains the
Amazon Creek headwaters. She says the polluted water “will
eventually leach into the creek. There’s no doubt about it.”
The school district has a stormwater drainage permit with
the city for Roosevelt Middle School constmction. The gen¬
eral Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
stormwater drainage permit requires companies to perform a
daily inspection for stormwater overflow during heavy rains.
Warnes says she has consulted a local hydrologist, A1
Johnson, to perform water tests on the site for potential chem¬
icals left by Hyland Constmction. Long before the Hyland
constmction, 26 non-native chemicals were found in Amazon
Creek in 2013, according to five water samples taken by Or¬
egon Department of Environmental Quality staff. The major
chemical was DEET, a mosquito repellent.
Before the recent rains, 50-some community members,
including school district staff and teachers, took a tour of the
inside of the new middle school on Dec. 5, but news reports
did not note the constmction debris near the wetlands.

• Watch oregonlive.com and uomatters.com for updates on the French investigation into
possible track scandals, including selection of wee Eugene as the site of the IMF World
Championships in track in 2021. The Oregonian has done a long investigative piece and the
UO Foundation’s lawyers have sent Bill Harbaugh (UO Matters) a warning letter for his
references to the French investigation and the funding mechanisms by the state of Oregon
and the Foundation. It’s a big deal.
• At COP 21, aka the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, nearly 200 countries reached
consensus on an agreement to fight climate change with a goal of stopping global warming
well below 2 degrees Celsius and, if possible, below 1.5 degrees. Is the Paris agreement
perfect? No. Parts of it are not legally binding, but it’s remarkable when so many countries that
agree on so few things can come to consensus. And it’s a huge step forward in a global effort
to save the planet. The first step is admitting you have a problem, and we’ve done that. Now
we need to move forward to fix it.
• We were pleased to hear Mayor Kitty Piercy on public radio last week talking about
climate action and homelessness alongside the mayors of the much bigger cities of Los
Angeles, Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. The two-day West Coast Mayors Summit led to a
pledge to take more progressive action locally and regionally on environmental and social
justice issues, which are inseparable. Mass transit, for example, benefits both air quality and
transportation options for low-income people. And pollution, of course, affects poor people
and the houseless much more than rich people. Piercy talked about Eugene’s climate and
sustainability goals and progress toward housing 365 homeless vets this year. We can
certainly do more, but it’s apparent that real progress will come not from Congress but through
pressure from the local level.
• Follow closely, because this is a weird one. Once upon a time, a timber-funded lawsuit
attacked specific members of the Lane County Board of Commissioners. Judge Michael Gillespie
made a wacky, weird ruling that Pete Sorenson, Faye Stewart and former commissioners Rob
Handy and Bill Dwyer used serial emails to form a quorum and deliberate and that violated
Oregon’s public meetings law. Conveniently enough, only Handy and Sorenson were named in the
Seneca timber-funded suit, so Stewart was not found guilty. The conservative board majority voted
not to appeal the judge’s ruling, a strange vote since many believed the ruling would not stand.
Fast-forward a couple years, and Rob Handy is arguing in court that Jay Bozievich, Sid
Leiken and Stewart used sequential private meetings to make a decision about him. With
apparently no sense of irony or shame, Boz, Leiken and Stewart are now appealing to the
Oregon Supreme Court to rule that sequential, written communications or private meetings
between a quorum of an elected body do not count as deliberating toward a decision. The
serial meetings ruling was ridiculous in the first place, so striking it down is fine by us, but we’d
like to hear from the commissioners just why they thought the serial meetings ruling was just
dandy back in 2011 but don’t like it now. Maybe because the lawsuit and their votes were a
political attack and not for the benefit of the county?
• Anybody know a skilled shoemaker who can figure out why UO basketball players have
so many foot and knee injuries? The Register-Guard sports section keeps telling us how many
players can’t play because of physical problems. Probably no correlation to the beautiful
shoes they wear to pound the courts.
• The “Common Corpse” headline in one of the cheeky New York City tabloids tells a story
that is good news to more and more Oregonians. A fierce grassroots effort in New York state by
parents and teachers with one in five students opting out of Common Core testing has forced
the Board of Regents and the politicians to decouple test scores from teacher evaluations, and
that’s only the first step in what many consider the death of Common Core testing. The same
sentiments are rumbling from the bottom up in Eugene and other parts of Oregon.
• Our paper is so popular in Veneta that some guy has been stealing big stacks of them
at Ray’s Food Place and hauling them off in his large white pickup truck “with handwritten
scrawling on the tailgate,” according to a Veneta reader who confronted him. We’re not sure
what this “skinny, clean-shaven” guy is doing with hundreds of our papers, but he’s probably
not reading them. Compost for a backyard growing operation? We recommend fresh, hot
chicken shit for his garden.

Cowbucker is a new hat business celebrating its grand
opening from noon to 6 pm Thursday, Dec. 17, at 222 E.
11th Ave., the former site of Creative Minds Alternative
School. This will be the first permanent retail outlet for the
business that started with an office in March, followed by
a warehouse. Cowbucker offers two styles of hats at this
time, including a cowboy/trucker hat and hats for schools,
breweries and states. Three UO MBA students started the
business.
Fertilab Thinkubator will be moving Feb. 1 to a new and
much larger location at 44 2th Ave. The small business

Hoodoo Ski Area and Willamette Pass are opening for
the season beginning Friday, Dec. 18, just in time forwinter
break. Mount Bachelor near Bend is higher elevation
(9,068 feet at the summit) and opened earlier but is
dealing with heavy weather and difficult access this week.
Hoodoo is 5,202 feet at the top and Willamette Pass is
6,683 feet. Check the ski areas’ websites for updates.
Meanwhile, area ski and rental suppliers, such as Berg’s
Ski 8c Snowboard Shop, are busy and happy to see a more
normal snow season.
Cher Aker is retiring as administrator of City Club of
Eugene at the end of the year. “I’ve enjoyed (almost) every

meetings, hundreds of Friday Forums and seven different
presidents,” she says on the City Club website. “It has been
a wonderful experience.” Aker has served as administrator
since October 2008. No word on who will replace her.

At First Place Kids Early Childhood program in south
Eugene, Eileen Chanti works with young children who don’t
have homes. Chanti, the program’s director, says that the un¬
housed children of Lane County
are “the most vulnerable popula¬
tion in our community.”
Due to a recent loss in funding,
the First Place Kids Early Child¬
hood program is losing one of
its two staff members this week,
reducing resources for unhoused
families who often can’t meet the
mandatory enrollment require¬
ments of other early childhood
education programs.
Maria Sanchez, a bilingual
teacher who worked part time for
the First Place program, says she is
“really sad because now there isn’t
going to be a person taking care of
the Latino families.”
A Spanish speaker, Sanchez says she served as a resource
for houseless Latino parents and children, widening the pro¬
gram’s reach and attracting more families to use the services
available at First Place Family Center.
“Families spread the word that we have someone who
speaks Spanish, and it made people more eager to talk to me
and tell me more about what issues they’re having,” she says.
Chanti, a Waldorf -trained teacher who has worked with at-
risk children for six years, says she’s struggled to maintain
funding for the program, which offers drop-in classes three
times a week for kids ages 6 and under, accommodating the
hurdles that unhoused parents face by not requiring manda¬
tory enrollment as many other programs do.
“These are families that have difficulty with transportation,
and they don’t know where they’re sleeping the next night,”
Chanti says. “Programs that require enrollment do not work
for them. So we are explicitly a drop-in program, and we al¬
low families to come as needed, with no requirement other
than being a family that’s using the
First Place Family Center.”
The First Place program em¬
phasizes the importance of play
and serves around 200 children a
year, with lunches supported by
FOOD for Lane County. Chanti
also offers referrals, screening
children to see if they are eligible
for other services across Lane
County, including Early Child¬
hood CARES, an early interven¬
tion service for young children.
Chanti says that a Social In¬
novation Fund grant from United
Way of Lane County paid for San¬
chez’ salary, but when that grant
ended, the program could no longer support two staff mem¬
bers. Chanti applied for several grants over the summer, she
says, but the program was turned down because it didn’t have
enough money to qualify.
“Our program budget is $32,000 a year,” she says. “If we
had more we would be able to hire back another teacher, but
our ultimate goal is to be open five days a week. We’d like to
be here for families always.”
Chanti says St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County will sup¬
port the program until June of next year, but she needs to find
new funding to continue past that date.
To help fund the First Place Kids Early Childhood pro¬
gram, Chanti says monetary donations can be made through
St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County’s website. The program
also accepts donations of toys and gift cards for fresh fruits
and vegetables. — Amy Schneider

EUGENE NONPROFIT
RECOGNIZED AT PARIS
CLIMATE CONFERENCE
The local nonprofit Center for Renewable Energy and
Appropriate Technology (CREATE!) received a Gender
Just Climate Solutions Award recognition from the Women
and Gender Constituency (WGC) of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change at the COP 21
Climate Change Conference in Paris.
CREATE! was founded by Barry Wheeler in 2008; he’s
been working with the poor and displaced in sub-Saharan
Africa for the past 30 years. Wheeler has also taught in¬
ternational community development, sustainable develop¬
ment and project planning at the UO.
Wheeler says CREATE !’s goal is to help rural villages
in developing countries cope with global climate change in
their communities. The nonprofit highlights four intersect¬
ing issues: water, food, energy conservation and income
generation. But, Wheeler says, “The most important thing
is water. All over Africa there’s a saying, ‘I’eau est la vie,’
water is life. And it’s true, everything depends on water.”
While the program assists with access to water through
well rehabilitation, CREATE! offers to teach participants
how to build more efficient stoves, using half the amount
of wood they’d usually use, coupled with a tree planting
program to teach sustainability.
“The programs are truly sustainable, and don’t just pay
lip service to sustainability,” Wheeler says. “Our goal is
to empower our own staff, and through the implementa¬
tion strategies in the villages that help the villagers become
empowered.”
The program has four staff members in Eugene, and 13
staffers in Senegal.
Wheeler says he was trying to produce a different mod¬
el of philanthropy when he founded the nonprofit. Unlike
many aid organizations, Wheeler says, CREATE! is de¬
signed to “educated and empower” people, which is why it
hired an all-Senegalese staff.
“That’s one of the things we’re most proud of in our or¬
ganization,” says Louise Ruhr, CREATE! chief operations
officer, “that all of the work done in Senegal is done by
Senegalese staff. Even our country director is Senegalese.”
The active approach of CREATE! in helping its benefi¬
ciaries takes just as much, if not more, work from the ben¬
eficiaries to learn and implement what they learn, Wheeler
says.
The Gender Just Solutions recognition is “aimed at
making gender responsive and equitable solutions vis¬
ible and central to just climate action.” The full list of
those recognized for their work across the world can be
found at womengenderclimate.org.
“This award provides a global recognition for what
we’re doing and validation for this approach,” Wheeler
says. — Mohammed Alkhadher

JUMP SHOTS FROM ISRAEL BY HAYDEN ROOKE-LEY
4
THE WESTERN WALL/ TEMPLE MOUNT/
DOME OF THE ROCK IN OLD JERUSALEM
44
They didn’t just kill Rabin, they didn’t just
shoot the messenger. They killed the con¬
cept of peace,” my friend proclaims over
Shabbat dinner in Tel Aviv. “The sad part
is that they succeeded — the right wing.
They killed Rabin and got what they wanted. Look at
Israel now.”
This past month marked the 20th anniversary of the
assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, perpetrated by a Jewish
extremist opposed to the prime minister’s instrumental
work on the Oslo Accords, aiming to realize a Palestinian
state alongside Israel. Since the November 1995 murder, a
stagnant and ineffective peace process has supplanted
hope with futility, now entrenched by violence.
Many regard post-Rabin, right-wing support of a two-
state solution, particularly under Netanyahu, as disingenu¬
ous: rhetoric belied by the policies of occupation, driving
Palestinians into further despair — and a handful into the
depths of violent radicalization.
While not defended or justified, their martyrdom can be
comprehended. These Palestinian youth wake up to the
realities of destitution and a starved economy, to encroach¬
ing settlements, to collective punishment (home demoli¬
tion) and a disparate justice system.
Amid this, they are to believe the promise of peace and
sovereignty that has now sat idly for their entire lives.
They see an Israeli government that repudiates placation
and pursues deterrence by force, a paradox that many Jews
worry will ultimately spur a regional revolt resolute on the
extermination of Israel.
But other Israelis — perhaps the majority — see the issue
differendy. My athletic trainer bluntly conveyed his fmstra-
tion with “the Arabs” recently: “There will be no peace — but
it is because of them ... You see these 11-year-olds with
knives? These people are crazy! Kill all the terrorists!”
His animation was genuine; his articulation was
impaired by visceral emotion. He discussed his experience
as a soldier evacuating Israelis from Gaza and leaving it
under Hamas control, which soon began to bomb Israel.
He worries, as many do, that the same fate would define
Palestinian control in the West Bank. He sees a people who
cannot civilize and prosper when ostensibly afforded the
opportunity, pointing to political corruption and penury in
Palestinian-controlled lands.
On a train ride last week, I met a teenage combat sol¬
dier returning back to his base. He blamed religion — not
his, of course — for the lack of hope. I asked if his brigade
often discussed the political situation. He was callous, yet
matter-of-fact: “Yes, but most of them just want to kill as
many Arabs as they can. Many think they all should be
dead.”
While the brigade’s extreme views clearly do not repre¬
sent those of most Israelis, they comport with the perva¬
sive narrative that the enemy is a barbaric. Oriental “other”
that must be contained — that, after all, there is no partner
with whom Israel can negotiate. But, of course, Palestinians
are no more inherently inclined to wield a weapon than
Islam is innately violent; no nationality or religion demands
terror — people do.
I recently visited Jerusalem’s Old City. It was surreal,
but not because I saw physically awe-inspiring edifices, as
I had imagined. Without a religious upbringing, I intellec¬
tually appreciated the sacred significance of these land¬
marks, but I strained to fully grasp the holy value of sites
that appeared so pedestrian. The physical circumstances,
however, outside the Old City — the contrast of Palestinians
and Israeli neighborhoods — struck me immediately.
Manicured hills juxtaposed with mountains of trash.
Minted shopping malls compared to dilapidated markets.
Grandiose Stars of David versus a torn Palestinian flag
dangled on a street cable.
My impressions inside and outside the Old City repre¬
sented a microcosm of the Israeli/Palestine issue, writ
large: It is a turf war defined by socioeconomic disparities
that have subsumed a religious dispute into an otherwise
solvable political issue.
As Daniel Seidemann, an expert on Jerusalem develop¬
ments, recently explained: “Nothing guarantees the out¬
break of violence as much as the real or perceived threat to
sacred spaces ... But the Temple Mount is the detonator,
not the explosive device. Violence is sustained by the per¬
ceived loss of the two-state solution.”
I do not discount the hopelessness surrounding an issue
that feels so intractable, particularly since Rabin’s death.
But as an American-Israeli without deflating, years-long
witness to violence and division, I am also reminded that
the conflict, at base, is geopolitical — and therefore peace
is possible.
The best course of action, it seems, remains a two-state
solution, although I do not profess a unique solution. I rel¬
ish the opportunity to continue engaging with this issue
— and I welcome all dialogue, from here in Israel, or from
back home in Eugene. ■

Sponsors guides transition to life out of prison by mike bivins
In 2012, Roger Fields was staring homelessness
in the face. Fields was three weeks away from
being released from the Oregon State Correctional
Institution, where he had served 22 months of a
31 -month stretch stemming from convictions for car
theft, drug possession and a parole violation.
“I have family out here, but you sort of burn bridges at
times,” Fields says. Fields, 53, says he would have been “on
the street” if not for his third application to Sponsors, Inc.,
the Lane County-based nonprofit that provides housing
opportunities and help with employment, education and
other services for people with a criminal record.
Sponsors accepted his application at the last minute.
Fields says. After his release, he began his reentry into
society by staying at one of Sponsors’ short-term living
facilities while he got back on his feet.
Via its housing program. Sponsors provides Lane
County with 150 beds spread among 13 buildings on six
sites, and the nonprofit serves 300 to 400 people annually,
says Paul Solomon, the group’s executive director. “With
our reentry resource center and our employment program,
we probably serve closer to 1,000 people,” he says.
Solomon notes that Sponsors serves anyone in Lane
County with a criminal record. Sponsors also offers
a relatively new program specifically for women and
children. The program, called Reunification in a Supportive
Environment, launched in 2013 and provides housing for
up to five families on any given night.
“To my knowledge there is no other reentry program in
Oregon as comprehensive as Sponsors [providing] such a
broad range of wrap-around services,” Solomon says.
With a state award of $9 million in tax credits. Sponsors
and the Housing and Community Services Agency of Lane
County (HACSA) are set to move forward jointly on a new
54-unit housing development in west Eugene called The
Oaks at 14th. This development will help Sponsors’ clients
in need of longer-term housing. Residents can stay for two
to three years if necessary, rather than the three to four
months clients usually stay with Sponsors before making
the transition to independence.
The Oaks at 14th is “a very ambitious and exciting
project that we are planning on breaking ground on around
the beginning of next year, and [construction] will take
approximately a year to complete,” Solomon says. The
Oaks at 14th is especially needed because “there just isn’t
enough housing in the community,” he adds.
The current housing market is tough for those with clean
records, but if you have a criminal history, it’s that much
harder to compete. Solomon says many property managers
won’t rent to people who have convictions, which limits
their ability to find places to live once out of prison.
For those looking for a clean start, the difficulty of
finding a place to live disrupts their efforts at the very
beginning of their journey.
HITTING ROCK BOTTOM
Fields says he was originally in Sponsors 15 years
ago: “I went in and out of there so I knew it was always
available. Most people who come out of Lane County
know ... that Sponsors is an option. I had applied from
prison; my first two were denied, and I was persistent. I
kept trying because I know [the situation] changes at all
times and I was accepted a few weeks before I got out.”
Fields was born in Oroville, California, but has spent
the majority of his life living in Lane County ever since
coming up to Oregon with his mother in 1969. Fields says
he “didn’t start getting into trouble until later on in his
years” and that he has been to jail many times — but in
2009, at the age of 48, it all caught up with him.
The day before he turned himself in to go to prison.
Fields was sitting in his oldest daughter’s apartment. “It
was dark and I was watching TV alone, thinking, ‘What
happened?”’ Fields says. “I was making $50,000 a year
and now I have nothing, zero, nobody.” Fields also lost
custody of his children when he was sent to prison.
Fields describes his experience of going to prison as
“hitting rock bottom.” Throughout the years, he says, “I
have hit several bottoms, and rebounded back from them,
but this last time I really hit bottom and I came out with a
pair of work boots.”
Founded more than 40 years ago by a group of activists
and Catholic nuns. Sponsors has 30 FTE employees and
a $2.8 million budget, Solomon says. “The truth is we
operate on a pretty thin dime, with an administrative
overhead of 7 percent.”
According to Solomon, sources of funding for Sponsors
include contracts with Lane County and the state of Oregon;
the Department of Justice; United Way and FEMA; as well
as numerous foundation grants and private donations. A
number of buildings also generate rental income where
Sponsors’ clients pay rent at a reduced rate.
Solomon says Sponsors reduces the recidivism rate
of its clients by 30 to 50 percent, with 65 to 75 percent
of its clients completing the program. Completion is
contingent upon a client finding sustainable housing;
having a legitimate source of income; complying with any
parole conditions; passing all drug tests; and completing
any programming required of them while staying with
Sponsors.
Entry into Sponsors is very competitive, with beds
regularly booked six to 12 months in advance, Solomon
says. He adds that acceptance into the program depends
on how long a person has been locked up, as well as what
their “risk score is.” The higher the risk, the more likely
Sponsors is to accept the application.
While housing is an important aspect of what Sponsors
provides in Lane County, there is more to it than just
housing. Fields says. “Sponsors is great for resources.
December ip, 2015 • eugeneweekly.com
They offer you shelter and a safe space. They offer you
resources for jobs, a bus pass, getting your ID back.”
COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES
Fields’ near run-in with homelessness is not an isolated
incident among the incarcerated. Once released, people
who have successfully served their time enter the second
phase of their punishment, where they experience what are
known as collateral consequences. These include some of
the biggest barriers to reentry for a person who is trying to
turn his life around but is saddled with a criminal record.
The formerly imprisoned deal with sanctions, often
mandated by law, that restrict where they can work and
even where they can live. These additional obstacles put
into place by virtue of a person’s criminal record are some
of the biggest barriers to successful reentry.
“Folks with criminal histories are often screened
out by landlords,” says Jacob Fox, executive director of
Housing and Community Services Agency of Lane County
(HACSA).
While it is true that those with a criminal record are
not completely shut out of the housing market, their
applications are accepted on a case-by-case basis, says
Jim Straub, president of Acorn Property Management
in Lane County. Straub, also legislative director for the
Oregon Rental Housing Association (ORHA), says that “if
someone has a history of rape or sex abuse, pedophilia,
or a drug history or criminal history,” the association’s
members may still consider the application.
Straub says he once rented to a person who spent 20
years in prison for murder. “He did his time, he wrote a
letter, said T’m a different person now,’ and it was an OK
tenancy. He wasn’t an incredibly wonderful tenant, but
he wasn’t horrible either.” But, he adds, if an applicant
murdered a landlord, “then I might have a problem.”
Another consideration, Straub says, are letters from
groups such as Sponsors vouching for their clients. But
some crimes automatically blacklist prospective tenants.
For example, Straub says that while other property owners
and managers in the ORHA might make exceptions, he
won’t rent to convicted rapists, and that it’s just a “decision
I’ve made based on situations that have arisen in the past.”
Those with arson convictions on their record can find
it particularly challenging to find housing. Due to federal
regulations. Fox says, HACSA is unable to house those
with an arson record, and Solomon says that Sponsors is
unable to house them due to insurance issues.
A criminal record poses a daunting obstacle, and this
reality is compounded by the fact that, according to Fox,
there is also a lack of affordable housing in the area.
“Eugene, like a lot of communities across the state,
needs more affordable housing,” Fox says. Eugene is a bit
better off than other Oregon cities — Bend has a vacancy
rate of 0.5 percent and Portland’s vacancy rate is around
3 percent, while Eugene’s rate hovers around 4 percent,
according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
But, he adds, “when they do find housing, it’s often in
the private market, and the rents are too high. It’s a really
tough market. If folks coming out of jail or prison can’t
find transitional or permanent housing, there is a huge
percentage of folks that will become homeless.”
THE RISK OF THE STREETS
It’s tough to pin down exactly how many people are
transitioning out of jail and into homelessness in Lane
County. This is because, according to Sue Stahl, Lane
County jail records supervisor. Lane County doesn’t
“consistently collect that information to create a report
that would be accurate” because even though there is a box
to mark “transient,” the box is often left blank. “It’s not
something that Lane County has made a requirement to
track,” she says.
In fact. Lane County jail makes no effort to verify that
the address supplied by inmates is accurate, Stahl says,
adding that a person could “give me an address in the
middle of the Willamette River” and it wouldn’t make a
difference. For people released on parole. Lane County
Parole and Probation investigates addresses.

Corrections, says that finding an exact figure for the number of people transitioning from
Lane County custody to homelessness would be difficult. “Addresses often given could be
a temporary address. It also depends on your definition of housing,” he says.
Dumire also notes that they work prior to release to guide people toward organizations
such as Sponsors or the Eugene Mission in order to avoid having to release someone into a
situation where they would have to sleep outside.
According to a 2013 report from the National Health Care for the Homeless Council,
“incarceration and homelessness are mutual risk factors for each other.” The report also
states that “researchers generally estimate that 25 to 50 percent of the homeless population
has a history of incarceration,” noting that inmates were 7.5 to 11.3 times more likely to
experience homelessness than the general population.
The Oregon Department of Corrections was able to supply some data relating to prisoner
reentry but cautioned that its information system is “antiquated at best,” which “causes
inconsistencies and entries that are out of our control” making it “impossible to compile
accurate information on identified housing.” For example: between Aug. 1 and Nov. 1 of
this year, 1,211 prisoners were released in Oregon, but 42 percent of them have “blank”
listed as their housing type. Only seven prisoners, or 0.6 percent, are noted as homeless.
LOOKING FOR WORK
Finding housing is a huge barrier to reentry, but the other giant hurdle to overcome is
finding a job. Without a job to pay the rent, minus hitting the lottery, a person might resort
to committing a crime in order to obtain rent money.
When Fields got out of prison, he was able to leverage his experience as a drain
technician to hit the ground running. He had a contact before he went to prison, and this
person was able to secure a job for him upon his release. Through this job. Fields says he
“sort of got lucky” and was able to impress one of the businesses he did work for as a drain
technician.
They gave Fields a chance, and he made the most of it. To this day. Fields still rents a
modest home and also lives with his second-youngest daughter, who is back in his custody.
While Fields has marketable job skills, others reentering society can have a harder time
finding stability. “Maybe they’ve been locked up for 15 years and never worked a real job
in their life,” Solomon says. “Our challenge is to sit down and develop a resume” and to
“work with people on how to talk about their history in a job interview.”
Sponsors also works with employers to place clients in entry-level jobs that are mostly
in the fields of landscaping, manufacturing and hospitality, Solomon says, adding that these
businesses generally do not like to let on publicly that they are felony friendly.
Rather than simply trying to find jobs for those with a criminal history. Sponsors sets
an example for others to follow because, according to Solomon, “approximately half of
Sponsors’ staff are people with criminal histories.”
Being relegated to lower-paying jobs is a fact of life for many workers with no marketable
skills and a criminal record. This puts these people in a tough position, resulting in former
criminals going back to their old ways. “If I can’t find a job, I can’t find a place to live,”
says UO sociology professor Randy Blazak, who studies white supremacist prison gangs.
“I know how to survive. I’m going to go back to the drug trade or other illegal activity.”
He also refers to the blackballing of people with a criminal record as “the last legal form
of discrimination.”
Blazak cites the case of a person he previously worked with. “He couldn’t get a job
because of that box,” Blazak says, referring to the box on employment applications that
job candidates must fill out regarding past criminal convictions. This man knew he could
“make $1,000 a hit to beat someone severely.” The man did just that and wound up back
in prison.
One way to help ease reentry, Blazak says, is by banning the box, and he says that
doing so could reduce the amount of crime victims because former criminals will have less

incentive to commit crimes to survive.
In November of this year, the Portland City Council
unanimously passed a new set of rules regarding the box.
These new rules, set to go into effect in July of next year,
stipulate that many Portland business owners must wait
until they’ve offered an applicant a job before inquiring
about the applicant’s criminal record, according to The
Oregonian.
Also in November, President Obama set a precedent at
the federal level when he instructed federal agencies to ban
the box. While this is helpful for now, the next president
could easily nullify this directive.
BEYOND THE BOX
Banning the box is a start, and 19 states have, but this
only “kicks the can down the road” because employers
are still allowed to find the applicant’s criminal record
“after already paying their debt,” says Karen Dolan, a
senior fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, based in
Washington, D.C.
Dolan says the dialogue needs to shift toward
expungement and suppression of records so that even
relatively minor misdemeanor crimes, or even arrests not
leading to conviction, don’t follow people their entire lives.
Another downside, according to Dolan, is the $65
billion reduction in the U.S. gross domestic product
due to the lack of productivity from people prevented
from working due to a criminal record. Dolan adds
that one-third of people in the U.S. have a criminal
record, and that these can stem from things as trivial
as jumping over a metro turn-style or being involved
in a political protest.
Dolan characterizes policies keeping people with
a criminal record from working as “wrongheaded”
and says that they are “not good for the incarcerated,
not good for families or the community” and that it
“doesn’t rehabilitate” while putting people into dire
circumstances upon release.
“We can’t continue this way,” Dolan says. “Jails
and halfway houses are overcrowded. It’s not a system
that benefits anyone. It’s untenable.”
And besides, according to Dolan, after being out
of jail for three years, the formerly incarcerated are
no more likely to commit crimes than the general
population.
The chair of Sponsors’ board of directors, Margaret
Hallock, hints at things to come down the road, and
writes that Sponsors plans “to be more active in state
policy discussions about criminal justice reform.
There is a better way, and effective reentry programs
are part of the solution to the problems associated with
mass incarceration.”
Here in Lane County, additional housing
developments like the Oaks at 14th are a good start, giving
hardworking people like Fields a second or even a third
chance, if necessary. There’s still a long way to go before
equity for this group of marginalized people is achieved,
but for now, groups like Sponsors provide a safety net to
those who get into the program.
“I don’t really know if I’d be here today if it weren’t
for Sponsors,” Fields says. “I might have been headed in
the same direction, but I wouldn’t be as far along as I am
now, wouldn’t have vehicles, wouldn’t have my child back
at home. I wouldn’t be living a clean life off of drugs.” ■

WHAT’S
HAPPENING
Every bit as real as Santa, only less popular; Krampus is the
horned, goatish Norse Christmas fiend who chain-whips
naughty little boys and girls with rusty shackles, beats them
savagely with birch sticks and stuffs them into a wicker basket
before draggingthem off to hell. Though I don’t want Krampus’
job. I’m glad someone’s doing it. And apparently I’m not alone
because the savage brute is finally startingto get the credit
he’s due, despite organizations like the Catholic Church working
hard to suppress his special day, Krampusnacht. To be sure,
the shaggy Christmas demon’s star is rising; he’s popping up
everywhere. Just this year Universal Studios released a major
motion picture in which Krampus stalks a miserable, bickering
suburbanite family. And now Eugene’s Red Raven Follies cele¬
brate the Christmastide nemesis with a performance they’re
calling Sfori/f/nie with Krampus. Sir Seager Yapsalot hosts the
dark Christmas party at Old Nick’s, which features performanc¬
es by the The Baphomet Cabaret and Mood Area 52.
Storytime with Krampus begins 9pm Saturday, Dec 19, at Old
Nick’s, 211 Washington St.; $6.66. — Ben Ricker

CALENDAR
The Museum of Natural and Cultural History and the neighboring Many
Nations Longhouse celebrate the shortest day of the year a few days
early. Friday evening, MCNH and MNLjoin forces to host Northern
Lights, a winter solstice festival honoringthe museum’s Jensen Arctic
Collection, which first opened at Western Oregon University in 1985
and features more than 5,000 objects from eight Arctic countries.
Northwest Inupiaq Dancers will perform at 5pm and ?:15pm. “The
dancers are historians,” says Jensen Arctic Collection curator Roben
Itchoak, “and each of their movements conveys a specific cultural
meaning. It’s an important way of preserving and transmitting knowl¬
edge within Inuit societies, as well as a traditional way of welcoming
strangers.” Also performing are poets Moe Bowstern and Mary Jacobs
of the FisherPoets Gathering, who will present “Fish Tales from Alaska
Waters.” Visitors will have a chance to learn about Arctic animals, as
well as the science behind the haunting Northern Lights.
Northern Lights runs 5-8pm Friday, Dec. 18, at the Museum of Natural
and Cultural History, UO campus; $5, or FREE with a nonperishable
food donation for FOOD for Lane County.

CALENDAR
Kesey Square is in danger. It’s been more than two months since news came down that
Eugene City Council is considering sellingthe de facto heart of the city to private develop¬
ers who want to erect a six-story mixed-use apartment building in its place [don’t even get
us started on the ten-year tax exemption — MUPTE — for which the developers intend to
apply). Whether or not Eugeneans can sway the city to protect Kesey Square remains to
be seen. Regardless, the square needs some love. For years, city leaders have neglected
the open space. As a result, some see it as a cold, vacant and uninviting corner. If there’s
a silver lining around the proposed sale, it is that it has inspired many to envision a
brighter, warmer, more vibrant future for Kesey Square — like the one pictured, which was
sent to us by downtown business owner AN Emami. The City Club of Eugene meets Friday
to discuss Distinctive, Creative and Active Uses for Broadway Plaza [commonly known
as Kesey Square). Accordingto a press release, landscape architect David Daugherty will
discuss strategies for making Kesey Square “a more productive social and commercial
open space, citing success in meeting similar challenges elsewhere.” Brittany Quick-War-
ner of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce will also speak. In a move that puzzled many, the
chamber recently endorsed the plan to construct a building on Kesey Square, despite the
city’s invitation for requests for expressions of interest [a fancy term for proposals and
plans) that’s open till Jan. 15. Find out why, and show your support for Kesey Square by
attending City Club’s final meeting of 2015.

TOMORROW, ETC.
Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth is full of
sound and fury, signifying, well, sound
and fury
Macbeth might not be Shakespeare’s most
sophisticated play — it is nasty, brutish and
short — and yet, among the tragedies, it
remains my personal favorite, if only because
it contains the most blunt and chilling
expression of nihilism yet registered in the English
language.
Who has not felt the harrowing nausea of Macbeth’s
“tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,” as life’s petty
pace creeps meaninglessly to the last syllable of recorded
time? Poor player, indeed. The play marches forth with a
relentless logic, as blind ambition, acting in a vacuum of
moral bankruptcy, leads inevitably to a resolution steeped
in madness and soaked in blood.
Macbeth is Hamlet with a hard-on.
Director Justin Kurzel transforms Macbeth’s evil rise
and disastrous fall into a kind of expressionistic horror
show, part tone-poem and part ghost story. Set largely
outdoors on the Scottish Isle of Skye, the film is gloomy,
granular, misty and mauve, like a winter walk on the
Oregon coast. Specters appear and disappear in this
landscape of slithering dread, creating an atmosphere
where psychology is made manifest in the perforated
perceptions of a shifting reality. Think the Macbeth Witch
Project.
The begrimed cast is equally nebulous and indistinct,
more walking shadows than flesh-and-bone characters;
they are silhouettes put in service of KurzeTs downbeat
visual grandeur. It’s tough to imagine two more humorless
actors working today than Michael Fassbender and Marion
Cotillard, who play the royally doomed couple. As Lady
Macbeth, Cotillard is good, but she remains an actress of
small gestures, largely unsuited to the tidal certainty of an
ambitious monster.
Fassbender is an actor with charisma to spare, but he’s
running the risk of being typecast as characters flattened
out by the obsessive monotonies of singular intent; his
Macbeth is indeed terrifying, and yet for all his brooding
and raving, Fassbender seems immune to the possessive
spirit of epic tragedy in all its abysmal dimensions. The
full spectrum of suffering doesn’t come naturally to him,
as it does to an actor like, say, Viggo Mortensen or even
Matthew McConaughey.
The cinematography is spectacular, and Kurzel employs
all manner of effects — fast- and slo-mo, freeze frame,
choppy tracking shots — to outwardly depict the inner
hurly-burly of Macbeth’s mind. The result is a visually
stunning but remote Macbeth, at once noisy and mute.
Although the story remains the same, much of the Bard’s
language is lost amidst the clamorous spectacle of violent
clashes and midnight homicides. (How in the hell does it
take three screenwriters to adapt Shakespeare?)
And yet, despite such limitations — or perhaps because
of them — Kurzel’s Macbeth achieves a bleak singularity
of purpose. This is, after all, Shakespeare, forever adaptable
and open to interpretation. Kurzel has opted to interpret
Macbeth as a monolithic tale of martial madness, in which
fate is a derailing train driven by insanity and ending in a
pile-up of dire consequences. What this vision lacks in
dynamic reckoning and psychological depth it more than
makes up for in aesthetic consistency; like a song by
Coldplay, it is all verse and no chorus. (Bijou Metro)

FAREWELL PATCHYSANDERS
The last chance for Eugeneans to hear Patchy Sanders live in all its folksy glory will be
this Saturday, Dec. 19. The popular and critically acclaimed indie troupe with Eugene roots
is calling it quits after three years.
“Eugene is actually our second to last show ever,” says Sara Wilbur, violinist. The band’s
final show will be Dec. 20 in Ashland. “The band has been trekking along pretty seriously
for three years now,” Wilbur continues, adding, “We were just feeling ready to move on to
new chapters.”
Several in the band have young families to raise or other music projects, like the duo
Hollis Peach that band members Jacqui Aubert and Dan Sherrill have already started.
Wilbur will be heading north. “I’m going home to Fairbanks, Alaska,” Wilbur says. “I’ll be
going to grad school for biology.”
Wilbur, originally a classically trained musician, calls the change bittersweet. Playing
with Patchy Sanders was her first time branching out into folk and bluegrass.
“Driving across the country,” Wilbur says, “it’s been a huge eye-opening experience on
so many levels. I’ll never forget it.”
Despite their break up, there are some new recordings coming from the band. “We
never officially recorded with our newer songs,” Wilbur says. The DIY album will be
available on the Patchy Sanders website in early 2016.
Eugene is one of the band’s final stops, Wilbur says, because founding member and
mandolin player Ian Van Ornum loves his old community. Van Ornum is a former UO
student but is perhaps most known for being Tased at a non-violent anti-pesticide protest
in 2008. Eugene is also where he and Sherrill met.
“We’ve been playing so many shows lately that we’re playing really tight right now,”
Wilbur says. “Everyone is feeling that extra tension because we know we’re getting so

DARLING OF THE
NORTH COAST
met Sam Cooke and his wife Barbara, and he turned to her and
id, ‘Why don‘t you bring her to America with us? We like her,’” Norma
recOTJnts, bursting into laughter.
Fraser lived in Eugene for a decade and has a lifetime of stories
like thl^^ctutiSBaS^coTding Bob Marley.
■h-t ev^h know she could sing until they heard
minutes and she has the biggest presence in the room. She speaks in
singsong: Her music from the ’60s has an uncanny resemblance to her
speaking voice 50 years later. Her energy makes it impossible to
pinpoint her age. When I ask, she laughs.
“If you want to die early, ask a Jamaican woman her age,” she says.
“If I feel like dancing when I’m 99, 1 should dance!”
In 19?0, Norma came to the U.S. and performed with varmus bands.
Ten years ago, she came to Eugene. She found comfort in the city’s,^
laidback ethos, which reminds her of Jamaica.

BEYOND THE PALE
For the past four years, the husband-and-wife team of singer and guitarist Jen Johnson and drummer Mike Latulippe have fronted Velah, a rather
excellent Boston-area indie-rock outfit. Johnson went on record saying that Pale Hands, the duo’s barely year-old electronic band, came about after they
wrote a bunch of songs that just couldn’t work for Velah. It’s the sort of thing you’re supposed to say when launching an electronic side project [see:
Broken Bells, Postal Service), even if it’s not altogether true.
The songs on Spirit Hands, Pale Flands’ debut EP from last year, could work just fine if played on Stratocasters. But it’s how pumped the duo seems to
be playing around with their new electronic toys that gives the band its draw.
Throughout, Johnson and Latulippe sound like a couple of rock kids finally getting a chance to work out their love for Depeche Mode and Cocteau
Twins on record. Flow else to explain the cheesy but catchy ’?0s retro-sy nth which sounds like it was pulled directly from Kraftwerk’s Autobahn. Or the
“It’s Mechanical!” chorus on the robo-romantic single “Frantic.”
Mostly, Pale Flands seems like a sort of widescreen sonic atmosphere for Johnson’s cinematic voice to stretch out over. “Under Over” may be the best
to that end, a slow-burning ballad that gradually boils over with a thrilling show of vocal prowess. That voice should have no trouble filling the Wandering
Goat when the band rolls through Eugene this Friday.
Pale Flands plays 8 pm Friday, Dec. 18, at Wandering Goat, 268 Madison Street; $5. 21-plus. — ID. Swerzenski

THE ENSEMBLE OF OREGON
CHERIERENAE STUDIOS
FIDDLIN' AWAY THE YEAR
Top-notch f iddlers, candlelight concerts and Portland’s
finest round out 2016
f it’s fiddles you fancy, this holiday season will be merry and bright, because we’re
seeing a phalanx of fine fiddlers on Eugene stages to close out 2015.
Fiddler extraordinaire Darol Anger has long since left Oregon for the East Coast to
teach at Boston’s prestigious Berklee School of Music. But he’s coming back to Hi-Fi
Music Hall 9 pm Friday, Dec. 18, to play seasonal acoustic music, and he’s bringing
singer-songwriter Emy Phelps (who cut her teeth playing in Ashland at the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival), plus cellist Tristan Clarridge (of The Bee Eaters), hammered
dulcimer master Simon Chrisman (also of The Bee Eaters) and bassist Ethan Jodziewicz.
Anyone who’s followed Anger’s four-decade career through the David Grisman Quintet,
Turtle Island Quartet, Montreux and Psychograss knows that his skills and influences span
the spectrum from bluegrass through jazz, Americana, roots and beyond.
Like Anger, one-time national fiddle champion Alex Hargreaves has played with the
great mandolinist Mike Marshall and the Grisman Quintet. He’s also performed with
Anger himself, and studied at Berklee. At 7 pm Sunday, Dec. 20, at Tsunami Books, he’s
performing with the Jacob Jolliff Trio, whose namesake mandolinist is the newest member
of Yonder Mountain String Band.
Classical fans also have some fancy fiddling in store at the Oregon Mozart Players’
annual Candlelight Baroque concert 7:30 pm Friday and Saturday, Dec. 18 and 19, at First
Christian Church. Oregon Mozart Player’s own violin virtuosi Alice Blankenship and
Yvonne Hsueh seize the solo spotlight, along with cellist Ann Grabe, in a concerto grosso by
Alessandro Scarlatti. The wind players come to the fore in Handel’s Samson overture and
J.S. Bach’s first Brandenburg Concerto, while artistic director Kelly Kuo solos and leads
Bach’s first keyboard concerto from the harpsichord.
University of Oregon Jazz Ensemble
lead alto saxophonist Jessika Smith
graduated last year with a master’s degree
and took over the Eugene Composers Big
Band, leveraging her pre-grad school big
band experience in Spokane. At 7:30 pm
Saturday, Dec. 19, at The Jazz Station, she’s
leading a concert celebrating the release of
her splendid debut album on PJCE Records,
the Portland jazz composers record label
now run by another former UO jazz star,
Douglas Detrick. Recorded at the UO with
21 of her favorite players. Tricks of Light is
a surprisingly (for a first effort) tight, varied and accomplished debut that’s certain to
appeal to fans of straight-ahead, large-scale jazz, while generally steering confidently clear
of big-band cliches. Smith is clearly an Oregon jazz star on the rise.
Holiday music and other wintry sounds are ringing in the sanctuary of First United
Methodist Church. At noon Friday, Dec. 18, soprano and UO prof Laura Decher Wayte
sings seasonal music by Reger, Wolff and other classical composers. On Saturday, Dec. 19,
at 3 pm, the mighty 130-voice Portland Gay Men’s Chorus travels down 1-5 to bring its
annual holiday show to the church with songs celebrating the solstice, Hanukkah,
Kwanzaa and more. At 4 pm Sunday, Dec. 20, the church hosts its annual Messiah Sing,
this time adding an orchestra to its performance of Handel’s glorious oratorio featuring the
church choirs, Wayte and other soloists.
Another, smaller set of Portland singers arrives next week for what is my top
recommendation for all holiday concerts this year: The Ensemble of Oregon consists of
some of Portland’s finest singers, all drawn from top choirs in a city internationally
renowned for its formidable choral scene. At 7 pm Saturday, Dec. 26, at Central Lutheran
Church, accompanied by harpist Kate Petak, the vocal quintet sings 20th- and 21st-century
music by Benjamin Britten (Ceremony of Carols) and two of the world’s hottest young
choral composers — Norwegian- American Ola Gjeilo and Brit Tarik O’ Regan. ■

Celebrating community at Kesey Square with Yule
Fire, Feast and Ritual
Yule fire is all about the hearth, Gwendolyn Iris says.
“It’s about taking care of each other during the hardest time of the year,” she
explains. Iris hosted the first Yule Fire, Feast and Ritual event two years ago at the
Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza. It all started with an Occupy Eugene party in
2013 that Iris and other activists brought down to the SLEEPS (Safe Legally
Entitled Emergency Places to Sleep) camp based there at the time. It was a hit.
Iris, also an artist, decided she wanted to make it an annual family-friendly event for
Eugene’s housed and unhoused alike, but in 2014 the father of her two children passed, so
she put it on hold for the season. This year, she decided to bring it back and host it at Kesey
Square 5:30 to 8 pm Tuesday, Dec. 22 — the evening of the winter solstice. Iris says she
chose the solstice because it’s not tied to any one organized religion.
“It’s the time of year when the sun begins to return,” she says — something all
Eugeneans can celebrate. For Iris, Yule also represents interdependence and community.
“Historically, even blood enemies put down their swords and welcomed each other into
their halls to celebrate, declaring their peaceful intentions unto each other beneath the
mistlestoe,” Iris writes on the Facebook event page.
And the move to Kesey Square is no accident — she wants to save the public space
from development, i.e., the recent proposal from local developers to privately purchase the
square and build an apartment building in its place, a plan the city is considering.
“The housing they are proposing isn’t what this city needs,” she says, adding that with
the poverty in Eugene, what the city needs is more low-income housing, but not on the
square.
She also started the community group Save Kesey Square on Facebook, which now has
just shy of 300 followers. “I think [the city of Eugene’s] excuse is that no one uses it,” Iris
says of the square downtown. “So let’s use it.”
She also wanted the event to be accessible to all in a space that belonged to everyone.
Iris says she will be making huge pots of soup and volunteers will bring additional food
for a potluck. There will be a small Yule fire-lighting ritual, live music and a Yule tree.
“There will be a crafting area with popcorn and cranberries,” she says, for making
garlands. Iris says there will also be materials from MECCA (Materials Exchange Center
for Community Arts) to make ornaments. “I’d really love to see people bring their kids.”
Iris says she requests that people bring their own candles for the ritual.
“I wish to bring the fire, the feast and the hall to the street, to the public square where
we can celebrate together, a holiday that, to me, means coming together,” Iris writes. ■

EYES TO THE FUTURE
2015’s graphic novels move us forward
A consistent rallying cry among graphic novel enthusi¬
asts is that, with so few new comics aimed at young read¬
ers, the art form might not last.
Happily, a talented team of numerous, all-female fun-
nybook creators is doing its level best to address the prob¬
lem with the charmingly upbeat Lumberjanes to the Max
Edition VoL 1 (BOOM! Box, $39.99).
At a wilderness camp for girls, a clique
of campers bands together to survive the
summer, given their pesky propensity for
encountering enchanted animals and
ancient gods out in the forest.
With a fierce dedication to friendship
and adventure, the Lumber] ane scouts are
diverse, enthusiastic, girl-positive protago¬
nists. The book makes a perfect gift for that
kid (of any gender) in your life who loves
the outdoors, magic or friends . . . and hey,
who doesn’t love at least one of those?
Leading the pack of compelling comics
for adults is The Private Eye: The
Cloudburst Edition (Image, $49.99). Imagine the fallout
if everything you did, said and searched online was
instantly laid bare. Writer Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y: The
Last Man) teams with illustrator Marcos Martin to bring to
life the techno-noir Los Angeles of the year 2076, after an
enormous “Cloudburst” data breach has made private
online lives completely public.
When internet searching is no longer
trusted, the best way to get answers to life’s
mysteries is to hire PI, a pseudonymed pri¬
vate investigator with an invisibility jacket
and a chip on his shoulder. Full of car
chases, chain-smoking and femmes fatales.
The Private Eye turns the traditional detec¬
tive yarn on its head, along the way chart¬
ing the border between security and priva¬
cy. It’s Raymond Chandler by way of Philip
K. Dick.
Speaking of femmes fatales. Lady Killer
(Dark Horse, $17.99) presents Josie
Schuller, a 1962 Seattle homemaker who
inexplicably moonlights as a contract killer, hiding her true
vocation from her husband and children. Creators Joelle
Jones and Jamie S. Rich have created a complex, stylish
antiheroine who at
once embodies an
uplifting, Kennedy-
style space-age
optimism and the
steely-eyed prag¬
matism of a profes¬
sional assassin.
Dripping with
lush mid-century
modern design and
punctuated by
Tarantino-esque
ultraviolence. Lady
Killer is a breath-
in-y our-throat
thriller that makes
the most of its
1960s setting, with
Josie going undercover in lavish set pieces that range from
the seedy (a strip club) to the sublime (the Seattle World’s
Fair).
In his thoughtful, layered graphic novel Sam Zabel and
the Magic Pen (Fantagraphics, $29.99), New Zealand
writer-artist Dylan Horrocks introduces us to his alter ego
Sam, a weary cartoonist who finds himself artistically
stymied at his career’s midpoint.
Sam tries to get his mojo back by way of a fantastic
stylus that allows readers to enter the worlds of their own
comic book collections. Along the way, Sam both enjoys
and endures a walking, talking crash course in comics his¬
tory, entering the universes contained in medieval manu¬
scripts and anthropomorphic animal comics, and in manga
and superhero adventures.
A worthy successor to Horrocks’ early 2000s magnum
opus Hicksville, the plotline is a sort of Harold and the
Purple Crayon for adults. Zabel is not for kids. The magic
pen allows ultimate wish fulfillment, including some less
than politically correct fantasies surrounding diversity,
gender and sexuality. The dramatic tension arises from
Sam’s efforts to negotiate his bizarre method of supernatu¬
ral travel while retaining his 21st-century ethics and stan¬
dards.
The result is sublime: a breezy-reading rumination on
the promise and the problems inherent in graphic novels’
complicated history, and the power the creator holds in
shaping the medium’s future. — Aaron Ragan-Fore
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////^^^^
You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia
Day. Touchstone, $16.95.
As a person, Felicia Day has a kind of lovable oddness that
translates perfectly onto the page, as exemplified in her memoir.
You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost). Known best for
her appearances in Joss Whedon productions as well as her web
series The Guild, Day has written a memoir that is humorous,
self-deprecating and strikingly inspirational. The book describes
her wayward childhood as a homeschooled oddball who edu¬
cated herself mostly through reading whatever she could find.
With the advent of the internet in her teenage years. Day con¬
nected with an online community and felt for the first time that
she belonged somewhere. It’s the only memoir I’ve read in
which the internet plays a significant role in the author’s forma¬
tive years, and as a 26 year old, that hits home with me.
Day’s story is one of perfectionism, as she nearly wipes
herself out to maintain her 4.0 in college, double majoring in
mathematics and music and graduating by the age of 20. It’s
also a story of whimsy and misdirection — she spends years in
L.A. trying to survive as an actress and ultimately finds the lifestyle unsatisfying. Through the internet.
Day finally finds meaning and success in her life, pursuing a web series built on her passion for video
gaming.
Her message repeats endlessly: Be who you are. If no one in real life likes what you’re doing, there’s
a community for you somewhere on the internet.
Even if you know nothing about the online world. Day’s story is a quick read, and her mantra of
self-acceptance resonates on a very human level. — Amy Schneider
The Ghosts Who Travel
with Me by Allison Green.
Ooligan Press, $15.95
The Ghosts Who Travel
with Me is a necessary read for
all wanderlusting folks of the
world. Author Allison Green
recounts her story of exploring
Brautigan’s route through
Idaho from his novel Trout
Fishing in America. On her
own literary pilgrimage. Green
grapples with her deep relation
to Brautigan’s writing as a
woman, a lesbian and a femi¬
nist. She tells of the discoveries
in her own life that this literary
filter provides her in a voice
both poignant and clever.
The book is short and
sweet. It gripped my attention
for the full three hours of reading.
In that time Green takes readers on a journey that will resonate with
anyone who holds a love of adventure and literature in their soul.
When you find yourself stuck by the fire this winter, pick up a copy of
this tale for a quick and lovely escape. — Kory Bowlin

ASTROLOGY
ROB BREZSNY
ARIES [March 21-April 19): The Neanderthals were a different human species that co-existed with our ancestors,
homo sapiens, for at least 5,000 years. But they eventually died out while our people thrived. Why? One reason,
says science writer Marcus Chown, is that we alone invented sewing needles. Our newborn babies had well-made
clothes to keep them warm and healthy through frigid winters. Neanderthal infants, covered with ill-fitting animal
skins, had a lower survival rate. Chown suggests that although this provided us with a mere 1 percent survival
advantage, that turned out to be significant. I think you’re ready to find and use a small yet ultimately crucial edge
like that over your competitors, Aries.
TAURUS [April 20-May 20): Artist Robert Barry created “30 Pieces,” an installation that consisted of pieces of
paper on which he had typed the following statement: “Something which is very near in place and time, but not yet
known to me.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, this theme captures the spirit of the phase you’re
now entering. But I think it will evolve in the coming weeks. First it’ll be “Something which is very near in place and
time, and is becoming known to me.” By mid-January it could turn into “Something which is very near and dear, and
has become known to me.”
GEMINI [May 21-June 20): “There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of
desire that is uncanny, wild and lawless.” Greek philosopher Plato wrote that in his book The Republic, and I’m
bringing it to your attention just in time for your Season of Awakening and Deepening Desire. The coming days will
be a time when you can, if you choose, more fully tune in to the uncanny, wild, and lawless aspects of your primal
yearnings. But wait a minute! I’m not suggesting you should immediately take action to gratify them. For now, just
feel them and observe them. Find out what they have to teach you. Wait until the new year before you consider the
possibility of expressing them.
CANCER [June 21-July 22): Congratulations! You have broken all your previous records for doing boring tasks
that are good for you. In behalf of the other 11 signs, I thank you for your heroic, if unexciting, campaign of
self-improvement. You have not only purified your emotional resources and cleared out some breathing room for
yourself, but you have also made it easier for people to help you and feel close to you. Your duty has not yet been
completed, however. There are a few more details to take care of before the gods of healthy tedium will be finished
with you. But start looking for signs of your big chance to make a break for freedom. They’ll arrive soon.
LEO [July 23-Aug. 22): The English word “fluke” means “lucky stroke.” It was originally used in the game of
billiards when a player made a good shot that he or she wasn’t even trying to accomplish. Later its definition
expanded to include any fortuitous event that happens by chance ratherthan because of skill: good fortune gen¬
erated accidentally. I suspect that you are about to be the beneficiary of what may seem to be a series of flukes,
Leo. In at least one case, though, your lucky break will have been earned by the steady work you’ve done without
any fanfare.
VIRGO [Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not have to use a literal crowbar in the coming weeks, but this rough tool will
serve you well as a metaphor. Wherever you go, imagine that you’ve got one with you. Why? It’s time to jimmy open
glued-shut portals ... to pry loose mental blocks ... to coax unyielding influences to budge ... to nudge intransi¬
gent people free of their fixations. Anything that is stuck or jammed needs to get unstuck or unjammed through the
power of your willful intervention.
LIBRA [Sept. 23-Dct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to consort with hidden depths and
unknown riches. In every way you can imagine, I urge you to go deeper down and further in. Cultivate a more
conscious connection with the core resources you sometimes take for granted. This is one time when delving into
the darkness can lead you to pleasure and treasure. As you explore, keep in mind this advice from author! Flarv
Eker: In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on Earth, what’s under the ground creates what’s above the
ground. That’s why placing your attention on the fruits you have already grown is futile. You can’t change the fruits
that are already hanging on the tree. But you can change tomorrow’s fruits. To do so, you will have to dig below the
ground and strengthen the roots.
SCORPIO [Dct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, the pursuit of pleasure could drain yourcreative powers, di¬
minish your collaborative possibilities, and wear you out. But it’s also possible that the pursuit of pleasure will en¬
hance your creative powers, synergize your alliances, and lead you to new opportunities. Which way will you go?
It all depends on the kinds of pleasures you pursue. The dumb, numbing, mediocre type will shrink your soul. The
smart, intriguing, invigorating variety will expand your mind. Got all that? Say “hell, no” to trivializing decadence so
you can say “wow, yes” to uplifting bliss.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Garnets are considered less valuable than diamonds. But out in the wild,
there’s an intimate connection between these two gemstones. Wherever you find garnets nearthe surface of the
earth, you can be reasonably sure that diamonds are buried deeper down in the same location. Let’s use this rela¬
tionship as a metaphor for your life, Sagittarius. I suspect you have recently chanced upon a metaphorical version
of garnets, or will do so soon. Maybe you should make plans to search forthe biggertreasure towards which they
point the way.
CAPRICORN [Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ready forthe Cool Anger Contest? You can earn maximum points by expressing
your dissatisfaction in ways that generate the most constructive transformations. Bonus points will be awarded
for your ability to tactfully articulate complicated feelings, as well as for your emotionally intelligent analyses that
inspire people to respond empathetically ratherthan defensively. What are the prizes? First prize is a breakthrough
in your relationship with an ally who could be crucial to your expansion in 2D16. Second prize is a liberation from
one of your limiting beliefs.
AQUARIUS [Jan. 2D-Feb. 18): A fourth-century monk named Martin was a pioneer wine-maker in France. Fie
founded the Marmoutier Abbey and planted vineyards on the surrounding land. According to legend, Martin’s
donkey had a crucial role in lifting viticulture out of its primitive state. Midway through one growing season, the
beast escaped its tether and nibbled on a lot of the grapevines. All the monks freaked out, fearing that the crop
was wrecked. But ultimately the grapes grew betterthan they had in previous years, and the wine they produced
was fabulous. Thus was born the practice of pruning, which became de rigueur for all grape-growers. What’s your
equivalent of Martin’s donkey, Aquarius? I bet it’ll exert its influence very soon.
PISCES [Feb. 19-March 2D): “The deepest urge in human nature is the desire to be important,” said educator
John Dewey. If that’s true, Pisces, you are on the verge of having your deepest urge fulfilled more than it has in a
longtime. The astrological alignments suggest that you are reaching the peak of your value to other people. You’re
unusually likely to be seen and appreciated and acknowledged for who you really are. If you have been underesti¬
mating your worth, I doubt you will be able to continue doing so. Flere’s your homework: Take a realistic inventory of
the ways your life has had a positive impact on the lives of people you have known.
HOMEWORK: Make a guess about what you will be most proud of 15 years from today. Testify at FreeWillAstrol-

their minds just as busy as their

to others who will offer a paw

Fay, they often bond most closely to one person and devote their

LOVE mi
Tm a straight 26-year-old man who wants advice on helping my fiancee realize a particularfanta-
sy. We have been dating for three years and are in a happy monogamous relationship. I was always
vanilla, but she enjoys rougher sex and light bondage. We've incorporated some of this into our sex
lives, and we are both happy with how fun it is. She has expressed interest in a rape fantasy. Both
of us want to be safe when we do this, and we trust each other completely. But i cannot think of a
way in which she can get the experience she desires while still maintaining a safe dynamic, i am
wondering if you have advice on howl can help act out her fantasy in a way that we both have fun.
Seeking Erotic Advice Now
You and the fiancee are obviously capable of communicating about varsity-level sex play, SEAN; your
track record with bondage and rougher sex demonstrates that. Now you just have to use the same in¬
terpersonal skills that made your past kinky fuckfests possible— along with the same respect for limits,
boundaries, and each other— to negotiate and realize your girlfriend’s edgy-but-thoroughly-common
fantasy.
I recommend reading “Rape Fantasy: Howto Carry It Out Safely,” a long and thoughtful post at Slut Les¬
sons [slutlessons.wordpress.com], an engaging sex blog that’s sadly no longer being updated. The first
recommendation from Educated Slut, the site’s anonymous author: Maybe we shouldn’t call them “rape
fantasies” at all.
“A rape fantasy is almost invariably more about forced sex and not a desire to actually BE raped by
someone,” writes Educated Slut. “Very few people have the desire to be put through the physical and
emotional trauma of a real rape. This is the primary reason I refer to this as ‘forced sex fantasy’ rather
than rape fantasy; it just gives the wrong impression to some people.”
You might to be one ofthose people, SEAN. You seem to be underthe impression that there’s something
inherently more dangerous about realizing/role-playing your way through a forced-sex scenario. And it
may be more dangerous and/or triggering on an emotional level— talking through any past traumas or
fears will be important— but slappingthe label “rape fantasy” on rough[er] sex shouldn’t result in you
having some sort of out-of-body experience that leads you to go apeshit on your helpless fiancee. Talk
things through in advance, just like you have before, agree on a safe word— a word that stops the action
cold should either of you utter it— and take it slow the first few times you go for it.
Tm a single straight guy and this is probably going to sound really stupid, but... i basically stum¬
bled over the cuckold fetish and I can't get it out of my mind. I've tried to stay away from it because
I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to feel like garbage after enjoying porn. But i can't get it out of
my head. It's worrying, since I fear that one day it might end up spoiling things when I fall in love
with someone since Tm a bit of a jealous person. The idea of a cheating woman is really hot in spite
of all of that. But there's this lingeringfeeling of disgust surrounding the whole thing, is it possible
to have a fetish you hate?
Baffled About Romantic Future
Don’t you just hate it when someone leaves a fetish sitting on the steps and then you come along and
stumble over it and— hom/— you fall and hit your head and when you come to you’ve got a brand-new
fetish?
Yeah, no. We don’t know exactly where people’s fetishes and kinks come from— how or why someone’s
erotic imagination snaps on an inanimate object [high heels, leather gear, rubber masks] or a particular
sexual scenario [cuckolding, role-play, outdoor sex]— but we can safely say that people don’t stumble
into their fetishes or kinks.
Forgive me for being a pedantic asshole, BARF— I’m sure you didn’t mean you literally stumbled over a
cuckold. But misinformed, sex-negative, kink-negative pornophobes routinely talk about fetishes and
kinks— and fetish/kink porn— like a moment’s exposure can transform an innocent person with purely
vanilla tastes into a horned-up, slobbering, gimp-outfit-wearing kink monster. And that’s not the way it
happens.
So what did happen to you, BARF? You found some cuckold porn online, and your dick said: “DUDE.
THIS IS IT. THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. RUN WITH THIS.” Your particular kink was already in
there somewhere, already rattling around in your erotic subconscious, but you couldn’t articulate it— it
didn’t take shape— until you finally “stumbled over” the images and narratives you were looking for all
along. And your kink, like the kinks of so many other people [see SEAN’s fiancee, above], seems to be
grounded in insecurity and fear— you’re the jealous type, you fear being cheated on, and your erotic
imagination/reptile brain took your fears and spun them into a kink. Congrats.
On to your question: Yes, you can have a fetish you hate, i.e., you can have a kink you don’t want to act
on because the fantasy can’t be realized for moral or ethical reasons [it involves children, nonconsen-
sual acts, Donald Trump] or because you’re fairly certain doing so would suck for emotional or physical
reasons [potentially traumatizing, physically dangerous, Donald Trump].
But if your only issue with your kink are those lingering feelings of disgust, BARF, those feelings may
diminish the more time you spend thinking/jacking about your newly revealed kink. Time will determine
if your feelings of disgust are merely your run-of-the-mill, beneficial-to-overcome kink negativity or if
they’re a sign cuckolding should remain a go-to masturbatory fantasy for you, BARF, without ever be¬
come a cheating-woman reality.
I've been dating a girl for a while, and i take our relationship seriously. Sometimes sex is a little
difficult because of her pubic hair. She shaves it close to the labia, which is right where my cock
is going in and out, and it's very prickly. I don't mean lightly prickly— it's like a bunch of wooden
chopsticks have been filed down and shaped into a cylinder, and I've been asked to let them clench
my dick, i brought it up once and tried to gently suggest a waxing or letting the hair grow back. She
didn't want to talk about it. I get it: Nobody likes having their genital area critiqued. But the prob¬
lem keeps recurring, i understand that i don't really have the right to dictate her grooming habits.
And if waxing is out of the questionfor her— maybe there are philosophical implications Tm not up
to speed on— how can i suggest that maybe there are other solutions?
Seeks Counsel Regarding Agonizing Penile Exfoliation
The only solution is your girlfriend letting her pubic hair grow back permanently, SCRAPE, since waxed
labia will eventually become stubble-covered labia. Here’s how you suggest letting those pubes grow
back: Start by letting your girlfriend know you’re aware that women have had to endure millennia of
misogy nistic/religious garbage about their genitals— but you shouldn’t have to silently endure painful
sex because that garbage has made discussing her choices around genital grooming unnecessarily
fraught. This isn’t about appearance or preferences or clashing philosophies about pubic grooming.
You’re in pain. Address the matter directly.
